[MD] Why are things called patterns?

[MarshaV]

David,

Good!  I was really disappointed that you became so upset with the Lila soliloquy.  I've always thought she is saying something important about the conventional (static) reality-trap that it is so easy to fall into even with one's philosophical/intellectual sophistication.  I don't really see it as a gender issue, but I love that it is Lila's speech.  -  So often I'm accused of being static, or lacking a sense of humor, so I love an opportunity to re-present Lila's words.  Aren't we all too often convinced that the thought in our minds represent what is "really" the case.

Anyway, thanks for writing.


Marsha
